THE TALMAGE OF TALLMADGE FAMILY. 

BY JAMES M. B. DWKiHT, OK NEW HAVEN, C'OXN. 



By Permission. 



This family name has been variously written in different 
iages, Talmage, Tallmadge, Talmash, Talmacke, Tolle- 
mache, and in several other ways. 

The family is one of the most ancient in English history, 
and is traditionally believed, says Burke, to go back to 
Saxon times to Toelmag, a Saxon Lord of the 6th century 
of our era. 

The name is found as Toelmag in Domesday Book, time 
of William the Conqueror, and also on the Roll of Battle 
Abbey of the sarhe century in the Norman form Tolle- 
mache. It is found at Stoke Talmage in Oxfordshire in 
1 1 35; in Norfolk in 1200; in Suffolk at a very early date, 
and in Hampshire soon after 1300. The seat of the family 
in Hampshire was at Newton Stacey, an outlying manor of 
Barton Stacey, in the County of Hampshire or Southamp- 
ton, and about ten miles northwest of Winchester, where 
the family had been long settled. 

In respect to the early history of the American family of 
Talmage or Tallmadge, I would say that historical writers 
have made numerous mistakes and given a most confused 
and incorrect account of the matter. The principal author- 
ity is "Thompson's History of Long Island," whose state- 
ments found in several parts of -th-e volume are confused, 



misleading and contradictory of each other. They are 
probably derived from some aged member of the family who 
has mixed up his generations, as so often happens. 

For example, Thompson says, p. 297, "Thomas Ta.lmage, 
Jr., (known as the Recorder, or Town Clerk, of East Hamp- 
ton,) was the son of Enos Talmage, of New Haven, who it 
is supposed died here. Thomas Talmage, brother of Enos, 
made freeman of Boston 1634, and of Lynn 1636, settled at 
Branford, in Connecticut, whence he removed and died at 
New Haven. " 

On another page he says, "Thomas Jr., son of Enos, had 
brothers Enos, Thomas and Daniel, which last removed to 
New Jersey, in 1725." 

The real fact was that these three were grandsons of 
Thomas, Jr., the Recorder, and great grandsons of Thomas, 
Sr. , of Lynn, who was the first of the name in Southampton 
and East Hampton. 

To the New Jersey branch of the family, descendants 
of Daniel above mentioned, belong the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt 
Talmage, his brother the Rev. Goyn Talmage, and Daniel 
Talmage and sons, of Brooklyn, This branch of the Tal- 
mages has intermarried with the Van Nest and Beekman 
families. 

Enos was not one of the emigrants from England. 
These w^ere William of Boston, Thomas of Lynn and after- 
ward of Southampton and East Hampton, and Robert of 
New Haven, three brothers. Robert of New Haven had a 
son Enos, who was killed by the Indians in the massacre at 
Schenectady, and a second Enos who appears in the above 
confused accounts of Thompson as one of the original em- 
igrants, was really in all probability, a grandson of Thomas, 
the Recorder, and a great-grandson of Thomas Talmage, 
Senior, of Lynn and East Hampton. He appears in the 
Town Records of East Hampton in 17 17 and 1721. 



Judge Hedges in his address of 1849, seems to have fol- 
lowed the same authority and been led by him into the 
same mistakes, which are refuted by the Town Records of 
Southampton and East Hampton. 

These unfortunate errors make it important to state cor- 
rectly the true beginnings of the Talmage family in America, 
the evidence of which has only recently come to light, and 
which places the matter beyond further doubt or uncertain- 
ty. 

Thomas Lechford was an English lawyer who came to 
Boston in 1638 and returned to England in 1641. He was 
the first practising lawyer in Massachusetts. He kept a 
note book of legal memoranda which has been recently 
printed, in which occurs the following entry, p. 294, old 
167 : "William Talmage of Boston, in New England, Thomas 
Talmage, Robert Talmage and Richard Walker, husband of 
Jane Talmage, deceased, sonnes and daughter of Thomas 
Talmage, brother of John Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in 
the County of Southampton, deceased, make a letter of at- 
torne)^ to Richard Con3'ing and William Dowlying, over- 
seers of the will of the said John Talmage, deceased, to re- 
ceive of the executor and administrator of the last will and 
testament of S3'mon Talmage our brother and of John Tal- 
mage, aforesaid, the summes of money due unto us by the 
will of the said John TalniAge (and a certificate under the 
public seal (L. S.)" 

Page 311 new, old 175: "A letter of Attorney by William 
Talmage, Thomas Talmage and Robert Talmage aforesaid, 
and Richard W^alker to Mr. Ralph King, to receive the mon- 
ey of the said overseer. Dated Sept. 3, 1640. (A certificate 
made under the pul)lic seal (L. S.)" 

These memoranda show conclusively that there were 
three brothers Talmage who came to America — William, 
Thomas and Robert — -and a sister Jane, who married Rich- 



arcl Walker, of Lynn. These came from England to New 
England in 1630, and no others are known to have come to 
America in the Colonial period. 

The record also establishes the fact that they were child- 
ren of Thomas Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in the County 
of Southampton or Hampshire, England. It also proves 
that they had an uncle, John Talmage, who left each of 
them legacies in his will, and also a brother, Symon Tal- 
mage, who also mentioned them in his will and referred to 
these legacies. These three brothers and sister's husband 
gave a power of attorney to Ralph King to receive the mon- 
ey. 

We thus obtain the names of the three founders of the 
Talmage name and family in America. We learn their res- 
idence in England and learn of the wills of uncle and broth- 
er there. 

During the last year, 1895, I have had these wills searched 
for and found in England, and obtain from them the names 
of the legatees above mentioned, who are the three Talmage 
brothers and their sister Jane. 

This power of attorney and these English wills are thus 
dovetailed together, and establish the fact of the English 
origin and former home of these brothers beyond question. 

I have also further traced the family descent through wills 
and subsidies to an earlier Robert Talmash, whose will is 
dated 1523, and who must have been born before 1500. 
Still more recent advices carry the family backward nearly 
to 1300, where at the head of the line stands Sir William 
Talmach. We find in the Suffolk line a Sir William Talla- 
mach of the same date (see Collin's Peerage). We have rea- 
son to believe that these two are one and the same, and 
that the Suffolk and Hampshire line of the family are unit- 
ed here. 

The elder of the three Talmage brothers, William, settled 
in Boston, and died leaving only daughters. 



The second brother, Thomas Talmage, settled in Lynn, 
Mass. He was admitted freeman in Boston in 1634, and 
was allotted there 200 acres of land, which shows that he 
was a man of substance. (See Lewis' History of Lynn, p. 
114. The Council had agreed that each person who had ad- 
vanced fifty pounds should have 200 acres, and that each 
person who came over on his own expense should have 50 
acres.) 

He thus became one of the largest landholders in the 
town. He removed to Southampton, Long Island, in 1642, 
and joined the colony from Lynn which settled there and in 
1649 he removed to East Hampton with his son Thomas 
Talmage, Junior, who became the first Recorder or Town 
Clerk of the Town. The Long Island and New Jersey 
branches of the family are descended from Thomas Tal- 
mage, Sr. , and his son, Thomas Talmage, Jr., the Record- 
er, also known as Captain Thomas Talmage. Thomas Tal- 
mage, Senior, died soon after coming to East Hampton, in 
1653. Thomas Talmage, Junior, was a man of education 
with a scholarly and elegant handwriting, which resembles 
that still taught at the famous school at Manchester, so 
near his English birth-place. May he not have been a pu- 
pil of this famous school? He was a man of much promi- 
nence in the early history of the town, and, says Judge 
Hedges, "the records show that at his death in 1690 he was 
the richest man in East Hampton." 

Robert Talmage, the youngest of these three brothers, 
probably came with Thomas Talmage to Southampton in 
1642, and when his brother left there, himself removed to 
Connecticut, and settled at New Haven in 1643, where he 
married and died in 1662, leaving also a considerable es- 
tate, which is now in the business center of the city, (corner 
Chapel and State streets), and of great value. 

From him all of the name in Connecticut have descended, 
and also a numerous body of his descendants is found in 
New York City and S-taJie. The Connecticut and New York 



f)ranch of the family has produced many men of distinction- 
in public life and in the service of the country. Among- 
them we find Hon. John Tallmadge, for many years elected 
to the General Assembly of Connecticut ; his brother, Colonel 
Benjamin Tallmadge, of Revolutionary fame, the friend of 
Washington, and now represented by his grandson, Fred- 
erick S. Tallmadge, President of the Society of the Sons of 
the Revolution. We find many distinguished Judges of the 
higher Courts r)f the several States and of the United States, 
others noted as Governors and Lieutenant Governors of 
States, and as Senators and Representatives in the National 
Congress. This branch of the family has intermarried with 
many of the first families of the country, and has much 
wealth and social prominence. Among noted families thus 
connected with it may be named that of Governor Yale, the 
founder of Yale College; that of Governor George Clinton, 
Vice-President of the United States : the Lewis family, the 
Burnetts, the Van Rensselaers, the Hookers, the Dwights, 
the Pomeroys, the Delafields and the Floyds. It has also 
been connected with families of distinction both in France 
and England. 

The spelling of the name in America, as in England, has 
gone through several variations. The Talmages of East 
Hampton and New Jersey spell the name Talmage, as it is 
spelled by Lechford, though Thomas Talmage, the Record- 
er, their ancestor, for many years spelled it Tallmage and 
sometimes without the e at the end, which shows that he 
pronounced it Tall-mag, (g soft). 

The Connecticut Tallmadges, and those of New York, de- 
scendants of Robert Talmage, have from the beginning 
spelled the name with a d and written it as it was spelled in 
the will of the English Lhicle John Tallmadg, whcj left to 
:he three brothers the legacies before mentioned as stated in 
Lechford 's note book. 

In Lewis' History of Lynn the name is spelled both ways 



which shows thtit Tliomas Tallmasj' also s]:)elled his name 
Tallmadg'e. Thus l)oth spellinjj^s are of equal authority and 
antiquity in America, and both are found in Enodand at a 
much earlier period long before the emigration. There is 
one point also important to observe, viz. : that the ancient 
names of the family — Talmage, Tallmadge, Talmash, Tal- 
mache, Tollemache — are used interchangeably; one ancestor 
using one form, his son another, and the same using difTer- 
ent forms at different times. This shows that whatever the 
spelling they really were pronounced alike. This proves 
that the name was never pronounced Talmage as we do now 
with a short a in the first syllable and a long a in the second 
syllable, but that it was pronounced wdth the first a as in 
tall and the second as in lad; so that the spelling Tallmadge 
exactly represents its ancient sound and was no doubt adopt- 
ed to indicate and preserve this. And this is made still 
more evident by giving the g its sound in Norman French 
of zh, which makes Talmage, Tallmadge and Tollmache 
practically identical in sound. 

The ancient name is represented by two titles in the Peer- 
age of England, that of the Earls of Dysart who have spell- 
ed the name Talmash, and that of Lord Tollemache who 
holds the ancient seat and lands of the family at Helming- 
■ham Hall, in Suffolk-

THG TALAAGG FAAILV. 



From Lewis" History of Lynn we learn that "Early in the 
Spring of 1630, eleven vessels, having on board about seven- 
teen hundred persons, left the harbor of Southampton, Eng- 
land, and sailed for New England. In the number of pas- 
sengers were Mr. John Winthrop, the first Governor of 
Massachusetts, with many other persons of dignity, wealth 
and reputation. As Mr. Humfrey, who had been chosen 
Deputy Governor, was not ready to remove, Mr. Thomas 
Dudley was chosen in his stead. In the month of June the 
ships arrived at Salem, and the passengers began to make 
settlements in the pathless woods. Mr. Dudley says that 
some of them settled 'upon the river of Saugus. ' Others 
went to Charlestown and Boston ; and the rest began new 
settlements at Roxbury, Dorchester, Watertown and Med- 
ford." (The History of the United States also corroborates 
this.) "The Conncil had agreed that each person who 
advanced fifty pounds, should have two hundred acres; and 
that each one who came over on his own expense should 
have fifty acres. " 

Among those who arrived at Lynn this year (1630) were 
Thomas Talmage^, (who was admitted a freeman in 1634). 
He had a son Thomas^. 

"In 1637 a town meeting was held in which Daniel Howe, 
Richard Walker and Henry Collins were chosen a committee 
to lay out ffarmes. " 



15 

"In 1638 the committee appointed by the town to lay out 
the farms, completed their tasks and a book was provided, 
in which the names of the proprietors, with the number of 
acres allotted to each, were recorded. They laid out a farm 
of 200 acres to Thomas Talmage^, and one of 20 acres to 
his son, Thomas Talmage^." 

"In 1640 about 'forty' families 'finding themselves straiten- 
ed' left Lvnn with the design of settling a new plantation. 
They invited Mr. Abraham Pierson, of Boston, to become 
their minister, who with seven of the emigrants entered into 
a church covenant before they left Lynn. They sailed in a 
vessel commanded by Captain Daniel How^e, to Scout's Bay, 
in the western part of Long Island, where they purchased 
land of Mr. James Forrett, agent of Lord Stirling, and 
agreed with the Indians for their right. On receiving in- 
fcimation of this, the Dutch laid claim to that part of the 
Island, on account of a previous purchase of the Indians, 
and sent men to take possession, who set up the arms of the 
Prince of Orange on a tree. The Lynn people, disregarding 
the claims of the Dutch, cut down the tree and began to 
build. Captain Howe likewise took down the Prince's 
arms, and instead thereof an Indian drew a very 'unhand- 
some face.' This conduct highly incensed the Dutch gov- 
ernor, William Kieft, whom Mr. Irving, in one of liis hum- 
orous works, has characterized by the appellation (jf 'Wil- 
liam the Testy,' but whom Mr. Hubbard denominates 'a 
discreet man,' who on the thirteenth of May, sent Cornelius 
Van Ten Hoven the secretary, the undersheriff, a sergeant, 
and twenty-five soldiers, to break up the settlem.ent. The}'' 
found eight men, with a woman and an infant, who had 
erected one cottage and were engaged in building another. 
They took six of the men, whose names were John Tarring- 
ton, William Harcher, Philip Kertland, Nathaniel Kertland, 
Job Sayre and George Wells, and brought them before the 
governor. These he examined on oath, and then put them 
in prison, where ttiey remained while he wrote a Latin let- 



i6 

-ter to the governor of Massachusetts. To this Mr. Winthrop 
replied, in the same language, that he would neither main- 
tain the Lynn people in an unjust action, nor suffer them to 
be injured. On the reception of this reply, the Dutch govern- 
'Or liberated the men, after they had signed an agreement to 
leave the place. They accordingly removed more than 
■eighty miles, to the eastern part of the Island, where they 
purchased land of the Indians, and planted a town, which, 
in remembrance of the place from which they sailed in Eng- 
land, they called Southampton. " 

Thus we learn from history that Southampton was founded 
in 1640, and that Thomas Talmage^ and his son Thomas 
Talmage^, both of Lynn, Mass., were there the first year. 
We find Thomas Talmage-*^ among the list of freemen in 
Southampton as late as 1650, and in 1651 we find him an in- 
habitant of East Hampton, where he died in 1653. We find 
no will, and as only one child, Thomas-, is mentioned, he 
probably had none. 

The Town of East Hampton, L. I., was settled in 1649. 
One of the first purchasers being Thomas Talmage-, who was 
chosen first recorder of the town and served in that 
capacity at different periods during his life, and held that 
position at the time of his death in 1690. He was known as 
Captain Talmage, was also chosen Lieutenant, and confirm- 
ed by the Court of Election held February 5, 1660. (O. S.) 

Thomas Talmage2 died 1690, had wife, Elizabeth, and 
children. Nathaniel-^ b. 1644, Shubael"'^ b. 1656, died Octo- 
ber I, 1742, unmarried; Onesimus^ b. 1662, John? drowned 
1670, Naomi3, Mary^, wife of — Hand; Hannah'"^, Sarah^"*, 
wife of — Bee. 

Onesimus^ d. Feb. i, 1723, resided in East Hampton, had 
w. Rebecca, (nee Wheeler) who, no doubt is the aged Widow 
Talmage whose death is recorded in the church record as 
being January 4, 1751. Ch. Phebe^, Sarah-^, Mary-t and 
Thomas^. 

Thomas"'^ d. Nov. 13, 1722, aged about 20 years. 



I? 

Phebe-* m. Severns Gould, Nov. ii, 17 19, had son Patrick 
Arthur, who had son Patrick T., who had son Jonathan F., 
who had sons John Arter, and Charles Osborn. 

Sarah-* m. Sept. 23, 1724, Nath'l Farnum of Chillingworth. 

The Will of Onesimus-5 can be found in S. O. N. Y. Liber 
of wills No. 9, p. 394. 

Following is a copy of the last Will and Testament of 
Thomas Talmage2 of East Hampton:

SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN THE WARS 
OF OUR COUNTRY. 

The 29th of November, 1689, Lieut. Enos Talmage, (son 
of Robert Talmage of New Haven), of Captain Buell's Com- 
pany, marched with twenty-four men to Schenectady to 
keep that post as was agreed. The 9th of February, 1690, 
the alarm was brtjught to Albany that the French and Indi- 
ans had massacred the people of Schecnectady. The num- 
ber killed, sixty. Among these were Lieutenant Enos Tal- 
mage. Twenty-seven taken prisoners. — Documentarv His- 
tory of New York. 

Colonel Benjamin Talmage, a descendant of Robert 
Talmage of New Haven, was an able soldier, statesman and 
patriot, who has received the most honorable notice in the 
histories of his time, as a highly brave, active and enterpris- 
ing officer of the Rev^olution. He was the second son of the 
Rev. Benjamin Tallmage of Setauket, L. I., where he was 
born February 25, 1754. He lost his mother, daughter of 
the Rev. John Smith, of White Plains, Westchester County, 
at the age of fourteen years, but his father survived till the 
year 1786. He very early exhibited a fondness for learning, 
and under the tuition of his father, who was an excellent 
classical scholar, made sueh progress that at twelve years of 
age he was examined by President Dagget of Yale College, 
then on a visit to Brookhaven, and found well qualfied to 



40 

enter that institution. He, "however, did not enter till some 
years after, and graduated in 1773. Soon after he was in- 
vited to take charge of the high school at Weathersfield, 
which station he held with pleasure to himself and satisfac- 
tion to the public, until the bloody scenes of Lexington and 
Bunker Hill induced his entrance into the army. The leg- 
islature of Connecticut having resolved to raise its quota ot 
troops for the campaign of 1776, he accepted a commission 
of lieutenant, and soon after received the appointment of 
adjutant in the regiment of Colonel Chester. He joined his 
regiment in New York in June, from which time to the end 
of the war he was in constant and active service. He was 
engaged in the battle of Long Island on the 27th of August, 
1776, and was one of the rear guard when the army retired 
to New York from their lines at Brooklyn. 

Before the regiment to which he belonged was discharged 
he received the appointment of Captain of the first troop in 
the Second Regiment of Dragoons. The commission is dated 
December 14, 1776. Tlie regiment was ordered to rendez- 
vous at Weathersfield, where the winter was occupied in pre- 
paring for the campaign of 1777. In the course of this year 
he received the commission of Major, and was honored with 
the confidence of the Commander-in-chief and principal 
officers of the army. He was in most of the general battles 
that took place with the main army in the northern states, 
at Long Island, White Plains, Brandywine, Monmouth, Ger- 
mantown and White Marsh. He opened, this year, a secret 
correspodence (for General Washington) with some persons 
in New York, and particularly with the late Abraham Wood- 
hull, of Setauket, which lasted through the war. He kept 
one or more boats constantly employed in crossing the 
sound on this business. 

On Lloyd's Neck, an elevated promontory between Hunt- 
ington and Oyster Bay, the enemy had established a strongly 
fortified post, with a garrison of about five hundred men. 
In the rear of this fort a band of marauders had encamped 



41 

themselves, who, having boats at command, were constantly 
plundering the inhabitants along the main shore, and rob- 
bing the small vessels in the sound. This horde of banditti 
Major Talmage had a great desire to break up, and on the 
5th of September, 1777, embarked with one hundred and 
thirty men of his detachment, at Shippan Point, near Stam- 
ford, at eight o'clock in the evening. In about two hours 
they landed on Lloyd's Neck and proceeded to the attack, 
which was so sudden and unexpected that nearly the whole 
party was captured and landed in Connecticut before morn- 
ing. Not a man was lost in the enterprise. For the pur- 
pose of breaking up the whole system of intercourse between 
the enemy and the disaffected on the main, he was appoint- 
ed to a separate command, consisting of the dismounted 
dragoons of the regiment and a body of horse. While sta- 
tioned near North Castle, a prisoner was brought in calling 
himself John Anderson, and who turned out to be Major 
Andre, on his way to New York, after his interview, near 
West Point, with the infamous General Arnold. Of this 
prisoner, Major Tallmadge had the custody up to the day 
of his execution, and walked with him to the gallows at 
Tappan, October 2, 1780. In November of the same year he 
resumed his favorite scheme of annoying the enemy on Long 
Island, and having obtained the most accurate information 
of Fort St. (leorge, erected on a point projecting into the 
South Bay at Mastic, he com.municated his project to the 
Commander-in-chief, who, considering the attempt as too 
hazardous, desired him to abandon it. Having crossed the 
sound and examined the particular condition of the post, 
he was finally authorized to risk the enterprise, by the fol- 
lowing letter from Washington : 

Head QuAK rF.RS, Nov. 11, 1780. 

"Sir: — I have received your letter of the 7th instant. 

The destruction of the forage collected for the use of the 

British army at Corum upon Long Island, is of so much 

consequence, that I should advise the attempt to be made. 



42 

I have written to Col. Sheldon to furnish you a detachment 
i)f dismounted dragoons, and will commit the execution to 
you. If the party at Smith's house can be attempted with- 
out frustrating the other design, or running too great a haz- 
ard, I have no objection. But you must remember that thi.s 
is only a secondary object, and, in all cases, you will take 
the most prudent means to secure a retreat. Confiding en- 
tirely in your prudence as well as enterprise, and wishing 
you success, "I am yours, etc., 

" G. Washington." 
In pursuance of this communication Major Tallmadge or- 
dered the detachment to repair to Fairfield. Here being 
met by other troops, the party embarked, the 2ist of No- 
vember, 1780, at four o'clock p. m., in eight whale boats. 
The whole number, including the crews of the boats, 
amounted to eighty men. They crossed the sound in four 
hours, and landed at Old Man's at nine o'clock. Among this 
number were Captain Caleb Brewster, Heathcote Muirson, 
Benajah Strong and Thomas Jackson, all natives of Long 
Island. After leaving their boats, the body of troops had 
marched about five miles, when, it beginning to rain, they 
returned and took shelter under their boats, and lay con- 
cealed in the bushes all that night and the next day. At 
evening the rain abating, the troops were again put in mo- 
tion, and at three o'clock in the morning were within two 
miles of the fort. Here he divided his men into three par- 
. ties, ordering each to attack the fort at the same time at 
different points. The order was so well executed that the 
three divisions arrived nearly at the same moment. It was 
a triangular enclosure of several acres, strongly stockaded, 
well barricaded houses at two of the angles, and at the third 
a fort, with a deep dith and wall, encircled by an abattis of 
sharpened pickets, projecting at an angle of forty-five de- 
grees. The stockade was cut down, the column led through 
the grand parade, and in ten minutes' the main fort was car- 
ried by the l)ayonet. The vessels near the fort, laden with 



43 
stores, attempted to escape, but the guns of the fort being 
brought to bear upon them, they were secured and burnt, as 
were the works and stores. The number of prisoners was 
fifty-four, of whom seven were wounded. While they were 
marched to the boats under an escort, Major Tallmadge 
proceeded witli the remainder of his detachment, destroyed 
about three hundred tons of hay collected at Corum, and 
returned to the place of debarkation just as the party with 
the prisoners had arrived, and reached Fairfield by eleven 
o'clock the same evening; having accomplished the enter- 
prise, including a march of forty miles by land and as much 
by water, without the loss of a man. Congress passed a 
resolve complimentary to the commander and troops engag- 
ed in this expedition, which was said by them to have been 
planned and conducted with wisdom and great gallantry by 
Major Tallmadge, and executed with intrepidity and com- 
plete success by the officers and soldiers of his detachment. 
The following was addressed to him by the Commander-in- 
chief: 

MORRISTOWN, Nov. 28, 1788. 

" De.ar Sir: — I have received with much pleasure the re- 
port of your successful enterprise upon Fort George, and 
the vessels with stores in the bay, and was particularly well 
pleased with the destruction of the hay at Corum, which must, 
I conceive, be severel}^ felt by the enemy at this time. I beg 
you to accept my thanks for your judicious planning and 
spirited execution of this business, and that you will offer them 
to the officers and men who shared the enterprise with you. 
The gallant behavior of Mr. Muirson gives him a fair claim 
to an appointment in the Second Regiment of Dragoons, 
when there is a vacancy. And I have no doubt of his meet- 
ing with it accordingly, if you will make known his naerit, 
with these sentiments in his favor. You have my free con- 
sent to reward your gallant party with the little booty they 
were able to bring from the enemy's works. 

" Yours, etc., 

" G. Washington." 



44 

During tliat part of the campaign of 1781 in which the 
main army was in Virginia, Major Tallmadge was left with 
the forces under General Heath, in the highlands on the 
Hudson; still, however, holding a seperate command, he 
moved wherever duty or a spirit of enterprise dictated. In 
continuation of his former design of annoying the enemy 
upon Long Island, he marched his detachment to Norwalk; 
and as Fort Slongo, at Tredwell's Bank, near Smithtown, 
was possessed by a British force, he determined to destroy 
it. On the night of the 9th of October, 1781, he embarked 
a part of his troops under the command of Major Prescott, 
with orders to assail the fort at a particular point. At the 
dawn of day the attack was made, the fortress subdued, the 
block-house and other combustible materials burnt, and the 
detachment returned in safety with their prisoners and a 
handsome piece of brass artillery. On the nth of April pre- 
ceding. Major Tallmadge had written to General Washing- 
ton, wherein he says: "At Lloyd's Neck, it is supposed are 
assembled about eight hundred men, chiefly refugees or de- 
serters from our army. Of this number there may be about 
four hundred and fifty or five hundred properly armed. 
Their naval squadron consists of one vessel of sixteen guns, 
two small privateers, and a galley. About eight miles east 
of Lloyd's Neck, they have a post at Tredwell's Bank, of 
about one hundred and forty men, chiefly wood-cutters, 
armed. I have seen an accurate draft of this post and 
works." He believed that if two frigates should enter the 
Sound in the absence of the British fleet, and at the same 
time a suitable body of troops were embarked in boats, the 
posts might be cut off; and he offered to aid or direct an en- 
terprise for such an object. To this proposition the com- 
mander-in-chief replied as follows: 

Nkw Windsor. Apr. 8, 1781. 

"Sir: — The success of the supposed enterprise must de- 
pend on the absence of the British fleet, the secrecy of the 
attempt, and a knowledge of the exact situation oi the ene- 



45 
my. It", after you liave been to the westward, the circum- 
stances from your intelligence shall still appear favorable, 
you will be at liberty to be the bearer of a letter to the 
Count de Rochambeau, to whose determination I have re- 
fered the matter. Yours, etc., 

"G. Washing! ON." 
Nothing more is heard of this matter till the July following, 
when Count de Barras, having no employment for his squadron 
at Newport, detached for this service three frigates, with two 
hundred and fifty land troops, the whole under the command 
of the Baron d'Angely. The detachment sailed on the loth 
of July, and was joined in the Sound by several boats, with 
a few volunteers and pilots from Fairfield. But it was soon 
evident that the fort on Lloyd's Neck was much stronger 
than had been supposed, and not to be carried without the 
help of cannon, which had not been provided. The party', 
after a few shots from the fort, reembarked, having two or 
three killed and wounded. Among those mortally wounded 
was Heathcote Muirson, the individual so favorably men- 
tioned by General Washington in his letter to Major Tall- 
madge inserted above. He was a son of Dr. Muirson of Se- 
tauket, and had graduated at Yale College in 1776. His 
death, as may well be supposed, was a source of grief to all 
who were acquainted with his many amiable qualities. 

After the affair of P'ort Slongo, Malor Tallmadge returned 
to the neighb<)rhood of White Plains, where he found full 
employment, in guarding tlie inhabitants against the refugee 
corps under Col. De Lancey and the cow-boys and skinners 
who infested the lines. In the course of the ensuing win- 
ter he took his station on the Sound, and arranged another 
plan to beat up the enemy's quarters on Long Island ; but a 
violent storm prevented its being carried into effect; he suc- 
ceeded, however, in capturing many of the enemy's vessels 
engaged in illicit trade between the opposite shores, and sev- 
eral cargoes of valuable goods were taken and condemned. 
Tlie secret correspondence conducted by Major Tallmadge, 



46 

during several years, within the British lines, has been be- 
fore alluded to. And when the American army was about 
to enter the city of New York after the peace, he entered be- 
fore it was evacuated by the British, that he might afford 
protection to those who were the secret friends of their 
country, and who otherwise would have been exposed to ill- 
treatment, as refugees or tories. He retired from the army 
with the rank of colonel. He was for several years treasur- 
er, and afterwards president, of the Cincinnati society. 

In 1800, Col. Tallmadge was chosen a representative in 
Congress from Connecticut, having been for many years pre- 
vious, engaged in merchantile business in Litchfield. He 
was in Congress during eight successive elections, a firm 
and judicious member of that body, and watchful of the 
political interests of a country whose independence he had 
so nobly contributed to achieve. After sixteen years of 
service in the national legislature, he declined a re-election, 
and retired with dignity and honor to the shades of private 
life. He was, however, by no means an indifferent specta- 
tor of passing events, but felt truly anxious for the future 
glory and welfare of his country. To public objects of char- 
ity and benevolence, it has been observed he always gave 
largely and freely. 

On the 16th of March, 1784, he married Mary, eldest 
daughter of General William Floyd of Long Island, a lady 
of great amiability and worth, by whom he had issue, Will- 
iam Smith, who died unmarried, Henry Floyd, Maria Jones, 
Frederick Augustus, Benjamin; Harriet Wardsworth, and 
George Washington; of whom, Henry F. married Maria 
Canfield, daughter of the Hon. Andrew Adams of Litchfield, 
Conn., Maria J. married the Hon. John P. Cushman of Troy, 
N. Y., one of the circuit judges of this state; Frederick A. 
married Eliza, daughter of the Hon. Judson Canfield of 
Sharon, Conn. ; Benjamin was an officer in the U. S. navy, 
and died at Gibraltar unmarried; Harriet W. married John 
Delafield, Esq., of New York; and George W. married Pa- 




NATHANIKI, M. lALMAtlK*^.

cera M., daughter of the Hon. Calvin Pease of Warren, Ohio. 

Col. Tallmadge lost his wife June 3, 1805, and on the 3rd 
of Ma}', 1808, he married Maria, daughter of Joseph Hallet, 
Esq.. of New York. He died at Litchfield, March 7, 1835, 
and his widow died in 1841.

War of the Revolution. 

Henry'', son of David''', was in the War of the Revolution. 
(See Genealogy page 28.) 

Baldwin C.', son of Davidr,, served in the war of 1812. 

Nathaniel M.*^ son of David', was a volunteer in the Civil 
War. He enlisted Oct. 9th, 1861 and served throughout the 
war, being discharged July 19th, 1865. His name was en- 
tered on the rolls as Nathaniel Talmage. The principal bat- 
tles he fought in were Winchester under General Banks also 
Winchester, Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek under General 
Sheridan, Gettysburg under General Meade, beside many 
lesser battles and skirmishes. His division, the 3rd Cavalry 
Division, Army of the Potomac, was commanded a long 
time by General Kilpatrick, after him General Wilson, and 
toward the end of the war by General G. A. Custer. He 
was in about sixty battles and skirmishes and near the close 
of war was given a 2nd Lieutenant's commission. 

Joseph*', Henry^, Baldwin C^, Nathaniel M.''^, all- above-
